Since Embiid's return from a torn ligament injury in his left knee, he has helped Philadelphia regain the strong team style of the beginning of the season. Against this season's upstart Orlando Magic, the 76ers at home are no problem, and Philadelphia, which scored 40 points in the first quarter, won a hearty victory by 12 points. So far, Embiid has won all five games since his comeback, and his individual score in each game is above 24 points, and he is in hot form. But even so, there was still a scene in the game that made the home fans worry, and they had to sigh that the ups and downs of life were too exciting.
This scene occurred in the second quarter, when Embiid was using his familiar style of play, instigating the body of the big center to hold the ball like a guard to break through the basket, but the three steps to get up and jump with his left foot may have been shocked, Embiid felt knee discomfort after landing, and then returned to the locker room for treatment, and did not play the rest of the first half. At halftime, there was news about Embiid's knee injury, and there were even reports that the previous ligament injury was not good, and this old injury recurrence was directly reimbursed for the season.
Fortunately, after the start of the second half, Embiid appeared in the starting lineup, and all rumors were self-defeating, and the emperor even scored 5 points in the first two offensive rounds, proving that his good form was still continuing, and also showed his determination. This season is bitter for Embiid, because of the unexpected arrival of the knee patellar ligament injury, even the dream of Zhuang MVP was directly shattered, and even the best team and the best defense team have nothing to do with him, and now he can only try his best to make a breakthrough in the team's record in order to comfort the injured soul a little.
At the moment, the Philadelphia 76ers have won seven in a row, but this is far from enough for Embiid, who is long past the stage where he needs regular season performance to prove himself. After beating the Magic, Philadelphia tied the number of wins with the Magic and moved into sixth place in the East, renewing their hopes of making the playoffs. However, they didn't rejoice for long, because the Pacers lost to the Cavaliers, Philadelphia, Magic and the Pacers had exactly the same record, according to the rules, the Magic came to fifth in the East because they were the division champions, and the 76ers were in the play-in round again.
This is the most embarrassing place for Embiid and the 76ers, although their recent form is very hot and they have won all the way, but because the hole dug before is too big, even if they perform so strongly, the initiative is not in their hands, and they have to look at the faces of others, and there is a high probability that they will go to the play-offs, which is really heart-wrenching. Can Embiid lead the team to a comeback? For the 76ers, will they still have a chance to come back from defeat to victory this season?
